No Time
He doesn't have time to mourn, Letty is gone and there is no time for grief. He has too much to do. Places to go, people to see, things to find out. Things like who was driving with Nitro-meth and had run his Letty off the road. And what Letty had been thinking getting herself involved with an operation like this. Their strength had always been in the team, their safety too and he'd left her so that she would be safe.
But she hadn't been safe and now she is dead and he doesn't have time to grieve. The window is too small, and already the trail is turning cold. But he has to know who and he has to know why. But most of all he has to make them pay. Pay for taking away the only good thing that has ever happened to him. And until he does that there is no time for anything else.
And then there is the trial and he can't greave for her now, he can't even let himself think of her because he knows if he dose then he won't be able to stop. All it will take is for one tear to fall and that will be the end because once the dam brakes there'll be no going back.
Now he's running, all of them are running and there is no time for anything other than the need to run and protect what he still has. He has to keep Mia safe, they have to run as far and as fast as they can to be safe and there is no time for grief. But he knows Letty would understand, Mia was important to her as well and she would know why all they can do is run. Once they are safe, he, Mia and Brian, he will have time to morn her lose. As soon as Mia is out of danger there will be time.
But Rio is just one shock after another, one event after another and he has no time to breath let alone think. And then the idea comes one last job, last time pays for all, and then none of them will ever have to run again. One last time to buy their freedom forever and then all he will have is time.
Then there is Elena, all golden blond hair and soft blue eyes. Elena who understands and make the nights less lonely, and has a smile that she keeps only for him. And he thinks that maybe somewhere along the way he did his grieving but was just too caught up in everything else to notice. There never seemed to be time so maybe he'd made it without knowing because it doesn't hurt they way it used to when he thinks of Letty. Now it just hurts differently.
And time passes but it still feels as if there is no time for anything and then there is Elena blue eyes no longer soft screaming at him. Yelling that she can't compete with a ghost and how can he expect her to give him her heart when he has nothing to give her in return.

Brian holds tightly on to Mia, holding her tightly to him when she would have run to her brother even as Elena vanishes into the night. And he rocks her gently as Dom's cries of desolation echo through the small house, the sound of shattering glass swallowed by the sound of the roaring tide. He strokes her hair and soothes as she weeps while in his room Dom rages and screams in anguish because Letty is gone forever and for them there is no more time.
(A/N) I'm having a bit of an angst fest at the moment, which means Dom and Letty are bearing the brunt of it. Or at least Dom is this week.
